…against the sky

On this shore
where dark waves beat
time is passing
on this road
where no-one travels
no sound disturbs the darkness

if only I could be
as the lonely wind
sighing by
and carry us away
pale and escaping
over the face of the sea

rushing through
the shadowless night
to then appear
arm in arm
as silhouettes
against the sky
